The College World Series (CWS) follows a double-elimination format initially, with eight teams divided into two brackets. Each bracket plays until only one team remains. Those two bracket winners then face off in a best-of-three championship series to determine the national champion. Games are typically played over a 10-12 day period in June at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska. Specific game times and broadcast information are released closer to the tournament start date.
